Black Knight Slot Review & Game Bonus

Black Knight slot machine has a medieval theme and is one of the true classics in the WMS catalogue. Starting life as a very popular land-based slot game in Las Vegas it has 5 reels, 30 paylines and a modest jackpot of 2,000 per line. There is just the one bonus round offering 7 free spins to players. The full details of this classic title can be discovered in the Black Knight slot review below.

Black Knight Slot Review & Game Bonus

One of the more dated slots in the WMS’ catalogue, the Black Knight slot is a medieval-themed game featuring five reels and 30 paylines that unfortunately looks like it was designed in the Middle Ages.

Not only does the game feature a fairly basic selection of symbols including kings, queens and jesters in descending order of value – see what they did there? – but there is sadly also no unique audio whatsoever, meaning the game relies on a generic bank of sound effects to score its spins and wins.

Available to play from as little as £0.30 per turn with all paylines enabled, the slot does at least boast one redeeming feature in the form of a free spins bonus that can actually be quite rewarding thanks to its expanding wilds. That being said, with players only receiving seven extra games even this comes with a caveat, making it a title that should be confined to the WMS slot dungeons post-haste.

Back In Black

While the wild symbols in most video slots substitute for all regular icons apart from the feature, the good news in the Black Knight slot is that they can also be used to help you on your way to free spins. Given players need to line up three or more feature symbols on a valid payline starting from the left-most reel to trigger the bonus, this naturally makes doing so a less arduous task than it could have been.

Once the free spins are activated, players will receive seven bonus games regardless of how many triggering symbols were landed, with these free spins benefitting from the fact that any Black Knight wilds will not only expand to fill their reel, but also remain in place for the remainder of the feature.

Players who are fortunate enough to land a couple of expanding wilds early on during their free spins can therefore expect to accumulate some pretty sizeable wins, which is probably why the feature cannot be re-triggered and players are prevented from walking away with a king’s ransom.

Darker Days?

Given the innovative things WMS slots are doing with base game reels these days, the Black Knight slot unfortunately stands out as a relic of a bygone era that offers little in the way of regular excitement.
